Post Norway deploys RFID Portal Infrastructure

Norway’s postal service needed to ramp up its technology-based systems to meet the need for visibility and real-time information on shipments.

With only just over 5 million inhabitants, Norway is the smallest of the Nordic countries in terms of population, but with a length of over 2,500 km and a population density of one per 15.5 km², presents formidable logistics challenges. Investment in an advanced RFID data capture infrastructure achieved the following:

Real-time data on location and expected delivery of shipments

Full track and trace

Competitive advantage over other carriers

An increase in business measurable on the top line

Post Norway is Norway’s national postal service, covering the entire country and its islands. Its forward-looking policy has meant constant investment in an RFID-based hardware and software infrastructure over the last 20 years, designed to support the best in customer services.

The geography and demographics of Norway pose special problems in terms of logistics. Recognizing the need to arrest falling revenues whilst increasing value, Post Norway began to implement an advanced portal infrastructure to generate data on the movements of items at a very early stage. Lyngsoe Systems has supported the carrier every step of the way to measure its domestic and international Quality of Service levels. The most recent significant investment was the installation of active/passive RFID portals across the country at no less than 340 locations. Post Norway’s policy is to utilize Lyngsoe Systems' Automatic Mail Quality Measurements (AMQM) RFID hardware and Quality of Service Monitor (QSM™) software to take the provision of customer data to the next level. Benefits include:

Top line business growth

Cost reductions

High quality of service

Improved logistics

Real-time data and visibility for customer shipments

Post Norway is able to offer complete Track and Trace to B2B, B2C and private customers thanks to Lyngsoe Systems’ RFID portal infrastructure, track large load containers for carrying parcels and measure Quality of Service for domestic and international services. Lyngsoe Systems has provided a complete range of services from planning and design, through consultancy to installation over more than 20 years.
